I've long been out of touch WRT am33, but I finally brought this up within Red Hat folks that are involved with it. Mark Salter volunteered to contribute the updates he'd worked on, but that had failed to be contributed because I failed to review the TLS support patches for GCC and binutils (sorry) So, instead of removing the port, I suggest we name Mark maintainer of the am33 port.
